Edit a Cognos script to "escape prompts" then save?

We are upgrading to Cognos 7.3 and have many many reports to upgrade. Cognos Website has a macro to update all reports in one directory, but the macro will not work with prompts. Is there any way to simulate hitting the Escape Key to bypass prompts and then save? That is how you would get around it manually.

Thanks,
 
Hi, I found an answer to this. I added this line to the macro
sendkeys "(ESCAPE)"


But now some of the reports stop because of a warning that I am using a different catalog than the original. Of course I am. I have to update in parallel directories to do testing before I put into production. I may not be able to get around this warning.

Thanks,
